Product Description

Description
Backed by a coterie of accomplished players, including the guitarist Marc Ribot, the bassist Larry Clark, and the drummer Richie Hayward, Tom Waits growls, warbles, and clowns hisway through a succession of freewheeling live performances,recorded throughout Europe and the U.S. as part of a characteristically idiosyncratic concert film released in 1988. Included are songs from his three groundbreaking early '80s albums, SWORDFISHTROMBONES, RAIN DOGS, and FRANK'S WILD YEARS.

5.0 out of 5 stars A blisteringly good live performance., 7 Oct 2000

By	Mr. B. Morse (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you are a fan of Tom Waits, or have even dabbled slightly, then this CD is recommended to you. Slotting neatly into Wait's post Jazz experimental phase (between Frank's Wild Years and the Black Rider, as I recall) this is a whistlestop tour of Waits' best moments. Guiding the crowd through anecdotes between songs, and instantly being able to switch moods between Preacher-Rock (Down in The Hole) and achingly sad blues (The Train Song). This performance is nothing short of fantastic. There are reinterpretations of some of his favourites (16 Shells and Clap Hands) that are a little rough, but otherwise, this is unreservedly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hits the mark, 25 Jun 2006

By	RF - See all my reviews

This is a thoroughly enjoyable twisted mess, just as you would want a Tom Waits live album to be. Worth getting if you enjoyed the Swordfishtrombones/Rain Dogs/Franks Wild Years trilogy. It's just a shame there aren't more spoken clips: when he tells the story about the soldier and the pregnant girl, it makes you realise he could pretty much wipe the floor with most stand-up comics.

As one reviewer pointed out, the sound quality isn't great and you may find yourself lungeing for the volume control sometimes.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great live show, 14 Nov 2000

By A Customer

Fantastic live set by the modern master of lyrical ballads and Harry Partch style microtonal madness.

-1 star for sound quality

I bought this cd on the strength of a review that stated Tom talked between numbers and his comic timing was as good as any stand-up comic. Read more
